The magical world of The Little Prince
brought to life!
About the exhibition
French visual artist Arnaud NazareAga has worked with Antoine de SaintExupéry Youth Foundation, and together they have designed a unique touring art exhibition of sculptures inspired by the original watercolor illustrations of Antoine de SaintExupéry's book, The Little Prince, as well as photos, manuscripts (手稿) and drawings.
The exhibition will be presented for the very first time in Auckland from 1st June to 25th June, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince.
Entitled “The Little Prince in the Dark”, the exhibition attempts to bring SaintExupéry's illustrations to life in a different way. The artist has created 13 allwhite sculptures with relief (浮雕). They are displayed in the dark to be discovered by the senses of touch and hearing. All the magic, dreams and poetry of SaintExupéry's beloved book will thus be revealed in a new way never imagined before.
What to do
First, start off from the entrance on the first floor to see historical photography describing the great adventure of the pioneering pilot Latécoère. Then, move up to the second floor, where you can find rare original manuscripts and drawings by Antoine de SaintExupéry. After that, climb up to the third floor to experience the sculptures. Finally, don't forget to stop off on your way out at the gift shop right next to the entrance and pick up some Little Prince memorabilia to remember your visit.
